Wedding plans go awry for Deborah Vandermark and her fiance Dr. Christopher Clayton when he assumes responsibility for his five siblings. Christopher is concerned about hoisting his family on Deborah, while Deborah worries about the responsibility of raising an entire family and how that will affect her marriage and her plans to study medicine. VERDICT Peterson is a staple of the CF genre and is sure to be widely read for that reason. The second book in this series, Hearts Aglow, did not find as large an audience as the first, Embers of Love, but this third entry is sure to please those who enjoy stories that feature strong female characters of faith. Recommend it to fans of Sharon Gillenwater and Robin Lee Hatcher.
